Cozying up the front porch.

I am living in a town home these days, and I must tell you that I am surprised at just how much I like the town home lifestyle. No yard work, (Just caring for all of my flowers and herbs in pots!) a park like setting to enjoy...and I don't hear my neighbors through the walls, which was one of the things I had wondered about.

Another thing about town homes is that the outside of the homes are connected, so obviously, we are all the painted varying shades within the same same color scheme, and everyone's porches are very similar. I wanted to add some personality to my porch, and I started working on this project last weekend. After all, my front porch area is the first thing anyone sees when arriving to visit, and I want it to make a good first impression- a friendly, welcoming impression. I thought I'd share the "before" and "almost all the way after" pictures...

(I say "Almost all the way after" because I do have one more little project I am working on for the porch area, complete with a tutorial, which I will share as soon as it is complete!) In the meantime, I am happy with my progress on the porch so far.
